from the left ventricle blood flows to the... | ascending aorta |

blood from the right ventricle is transported via the.. | pulmonary artery |
the pulmonary artery pushes blood to the (x2) | ductus arteriosis-> descending aorta and the lungs->left ventricle |

a fall in pressure in the right atrium causes what | the foramen ovale to close |
when the foramen ovale closes, what happens? | blood flows to the right ventricle, pulmonary artery and then lungs which inflate due to decreased pulmonary resistance |
what is released from the lungs that causes the ductus arteriosus to close | bradykinin |
